　　 The weekend after Thanksgiving, my parents called a meeting for all the people that were involved in the current issue. Usually, that would have been my uncles, grandparents, and a few other people that were always there for them. Now, though, it included me, Rika, Levi, Luka, Alyssa, Alexandria, Ashle, Cyprus, Beech, Elias and a few others that were in town. A lot of the kids that I had grown up with were away at college, so they weren’t here to have this experience with us. I felt bad for them, truly I did, but I was happy that I was here to be a part of it all.

　　 A lot has happened over the last few weeks. We were working hard to secure rights for our people, and it was time to start discussing how we were going to complete this whole process. We needed to figure out the whole revelation process and how we were going to go about it.

　　 The meeting was happening after dinner on the night of the twenty-sixth. When I actively thought about the date, I knew that my birthday was just a few days away and that I was about to turn nineteen, but I didn’t think that I would be celebrating this year. There was just too much going on that needed my attention at the moment. And I was an adult now, I didn’t need to have a big party. I was too mature for that now.

　　 The reason that the meeting was after dinner this Monday evening, was so that the people involved had been able to do whatever other jobs or responsibilities that they had, like cla.s.ses for me, Rika and the others. And then we were able to spend time with our families. That was one thing that my mom valued a lot.

　　 Family, and specifically time with that family, is very important. My parents have always tried to be there for every dinner and breakfast. The only times that they weren’t, was when they needed to travel for business or politics. We understood that things came up, and I didn’t mind the absences when they were required, but I did miss having them with me.

　　 Maybe this made me seem too childish, but I truly enjoyed having this family time and dinners with my parents. It wasn’t that I felt like I had to have them, I just felt like it was best to have this time before I left home to be on my own. Things would be different when I was mated and living in my own home. Things wouldn’t be how they are now, and that was fine with me. It’s just that I didn’t want to miss these things while I could, and I knew that it was because of my parents that I thought this way.

　　 .....

　　 I thought about all of this, my family, the future, and all of that, while I walked into the office with my parents. Mom and Dad were sitting in two large chairs behind the desk, almost throne-like in the way that they appeared when compared to the others. Our chairs were comfortable, but they were considerably smaller. I guess the symbolism of the king and queen were hard to overlook.

　　 Rika and I were sitting with the other kids, the legacies as my mom jokingly referred to us. We were all grouped to the side so that we were part of the meeting, but we were also able to see the entire group. My parents could see us all as well, even if we were separated like this, they were able to watch over everyone else.

　　 I felt strange, being separated from the whole group, but I knew the reasons why. We were still learning. We were still young and inexperienced. And these meetings, while we were invited to them, were mostly between our parents and the older generations. We legacies needed to learn more about what was happening before some of them would take us seriously.

　　 After the last of the invited guests had arrived and taken their seat facing my parents, it was time to begin. Mom rose from her seat and started to speak in a calm, clear, and powerful voice.
